Notes

Over and beyond the author’s commentary about Palestine’s small community of "degraded and powerless" Jews (p. 302), and the very good prospects for a final restoration of the Jews in Palestine, the section on pp. 327-29 condemns the rumored sale of Palestine by the Turks to one of the Rothschilds.
